Safety Issues and Concerns

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

We care about our members, which means we care about their safety and welfare while at the work site. If you have a safety concern, it is important that it be reported immediately. The process to report and resolve the issue should be listed in your MOU or there may be a policy or procedure for your department. All concerns should be reported as soon as possible to avoid any possible injury or hazard to anyone. If you are uncertain about a concern or whether it is creditable you can always bring the concern to a shop steward or call the office to speak to a representative. Safety issues and concerns at the work place need to be addressed quickly and, if correction is needed, done so effectively and efficiently.
